BMH-22i
Fumes and gases can cause damage to your health
Fumes and suspended matters may be generated during welding. Beware of fumes
detrimental to health, particularly when using surface treated materials. If possible,
only weld in rooms which are higher than 3 m. Please also observe the safety
regulations applicable for your country.
Do not breathe fumes and gases. Use adequate ventilation in the work area to remove
fumes and gases (e.g. ventilating fan). Exhaust welding fumes, if necessary.
Welding can cause fire and explosions
Welding sparks and heat from flames and arcs can cause fires. Have a portable fire
extinguisher handy for immediate use. Be sure you are trained for properly using it.
When welding, do not wear clothes soiled with easily combustible substances such as
oil, grease and paraffin oil etc.
Comply with the fire regulations and do not weld, for instance, in hazardous locations.
Pay attention to flammable objects at the welding place. All flammable materials and
liquids, such as oil, fuel, etc. must be removed prior to the start of work.
Electronic equipment (e.g. airbags) and the use of explosive substances for fuel
supply require further safety precautions when carrying out welding operations on
cars. Appropriate information can be obtained from the trade associations or the car
manufacturers.
Skin and eye protection
Arc rays and welding spatters can injure eyes and skin.
Wear safety glasses with side shields and protective goggles with correct shade of
filter to protect your eyes from welding spatters and flashes of light that are generated
during the welding process.
Wear gauntlet gloves made of leather and non-combustible closed working clothes
such as heavy long-sleeve shirt, cuffless pants and high boots.
Wear a leather apron to protect your clothes from welding spatters.
Keep sleeves and collars buttoned and remove open pockets from the front side of
your clothing.
We recommend using ear protection. Some welding and working processes may
generate loud noises.
Moving parts can cause injury
Beware of moving parts such as fans. Keep hair, hands, loose clothing and any tools
away from the air apertures.
